If we were to tell you that Fumito Ueda, Head of Team Ico, was a closet Half-Life 2 fan, would you be surprised? We certainly were…

It turns out that, in an interview with G4TV, the creator behind Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, and upcoming PS3 exclusive The Last Guardian, is interested in developing a first-person game - possibly a FPS:

'Usually, you have to incorporate storytelling with constraints, but the way [Half-Life developer Valve] implemented constraints was something different that I enjoyed, compared to other games [...] I have an interest in making first-person games.'

At the moment, that’s all we know, but doesn't that sliver of information warrant even a little early excitement? No? Well never mind, Modern Warfare 2 launches in 35 days time. Feeling better? We thought you might be.
